An Integrated Study of the Transition of the Ula Formation from the Cod Terrace to the Sørvestlandet High; Implications for Reservoir Types, Distribution, and Carrier Beds for Hydrocarbon Migration
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07)The Upper Jurassic deposits of the Eastern Margin in the Central Graben were influenced by syn-depositional halokinesis, which in turn affected the partitioning of environments and the resulting stratigraphic architecture. ... -
Application of Elastic Full-Waveform Inversion on Blackfoot Data
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Estimating a high resolution image of the subsurface has been always a challenge in the oilfield exploration. With advances in computational power, Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) has been proven as an efficient imaging ... -
Applying Geological Process Modeling to a turbidite system in the northern North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)In recent years, several mathematical methods, especially those based on geostatistics, have been used in reservoir characterization. The reliability of the static models derived from these techniques depends on available ... -
Characterization of Nannofacies in Upper Cretaceous Chalks used in IOR Research
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07)The aim of this thesis is to contribute to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) research by characterizing nannofacies in chalk samples used in increased oil recovery (IOR) flooding experiments with a MgCl2 brine at reservoir ... -
Comparison of facies models based on stochastic versus deterministic AVO inversion
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)This thesis compares facies models based on deterministic AVO inversion – which is a standard approach in the industry, and stochastic AVO inversion – which is a newer, less popular approach, but according to literature, ... -
Data Assimilation Methods in Seismic Inversion
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Full-waverform inversion (FWI) is a powerful tool for getting high resolution images from seismic data to understand formations and the reservoir characteristics. But the inversion problems usually do not have unique ... -
Decision-Driven Data Analytics for Well Placement Optimization in Field Development Scenario - Powered by Machine Learning
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Application of Data Analytics and Machine Learning (ML) in petroleum reservoir management have received a lot of attention in recent years, mainly due to the availability of sheer computational resources and recorded big ... -
Fault Activity Control on Upper Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Wedges in the Snorre Fault Block and its Surrounding Area
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-07)In this study, the question” how fault activity controlled the infill and geometry of the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous wedges in the Snorre Fault Block and surrounding area” is addressed. To achieve the goal, three-dimensional ... -
Fault Displacement Analysis in the Kalavryta Region of the Corinth Rift System, Greece.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)The Corinth Rift of Central Greece is one of the world’s most active rifts. Regional N-S extension has resulted in a series of half-grabens within a system of uplifted, rotated and north-dipping normal faults. Extensive ... -
Fracture analysis and modelling of the South Arne field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)Fractures are paramount elements in reservoirs, and they are omnipresent in almost all outcrops. The importance of fractures lies in their ability to provide permeable pathways and consequently increase the reservoir ... -
